Review: Here Richard Weingardt tells the stories and accomplishments of 32 inspirational US engineers. These men and woman, from the late 1700s to the early 21st century, helped shape the US and its communities. They have been divided into eight groups: Empire makers; environmental experts; transportation trendsetters; builders of bridges; structural trailblazers; daring innovators; movers and shakers; and educators extraordinaire.
